Another Russian region declares emergency as Ukraine offensive continues | BBC News

A second region in Russia has declared a state of emergency, as Ukraine’s incursion into the country enters its second week.

The governor of Belgorod said daily Ukrainian shelling is destroying homes and killing civilians, and Russia's defence ministry says it shot down 117 Ukrainian drones over several regions overnight.

Ukraine launched its surprise attack into the Kursk region earlier this month, in what is their deepest and most significant incursion into the country since Moscow's full-scale invasion began.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has said Kyiv would receive what he called a "worthy response".
